Okada Ban: Another Money Making Avenue For Police by Azeemokoya: 8:16am On Jun 07, 2022
The subject of Okada ban in Lagos State is not new, but there are other critical aspects that we have to look at.

Nigerians, especially most Lagos residents are used to this means of transportation. This is because they can easily navigate traffic and get to their destinations on time or ahead of time.

The Lagos State government recently enacted a transport law that banned Okada from the major highways and some routes in the state. But has the implementation been effective? The answer is no.

You still go on the highways to see okada riders going about their business without fear of any police or enforcement officers.

To make matters worse, they even operate plying the BRT lanes in some part of the state. They have this field day after they had reportedly bribed the Police and other traffic officers.

So, no need wondering about this high level of confidence despite the existence of the law that had banned them from operating in those routes.

But the questions many have been asking is if the issue of robbery has been resolved due to the gradual facing of the ban? The answer is yes.

The matter became worsr after the killing of a young man by some okada riders in Lekki over a N100 change.

The questions many have also been asking is the alternative means of transport that have been provided by the state government to Okada.

Meanwhile, the Lagos State government have unveiled an alternative means of transport known as Lag Ride.

As people continue to face traffic challenges in the state, the state government had come up with this initiatives with the aim of ameliorating the challenges.

Since the waterways is also at work, many would be encouraged to use such means of transport as they also await the rail system that would soon kick off.

But has the due diligence been done about all these? These are questions left unanswered.

How Police invaded Ilupeju to pack hundreds of bike

Ilupeju is one of the most peaceful community in Lagos State that have recorded virtually no crime in years.

This is traceable to the high level of cooperation between the residents and proper monitoring of their environment.

The Police can be commended for their normal parade around the town as part of their job, but more has been done by the residents that have maintain peace and order.

But due to the recent ban on okada in six local governments in Lagos State, the men olf the Task Force in the Nigerian Police have seen this as a way of making financial gain.

I don't want to hear any complaints from South west residents including igbos living there.

It has been going down rough in the EAST,this same disregard for rule of law,extortion,brutality and killings in check points and highways since 1900.. And you have been hailing the same police ever since

EndSars sample in the West was just the beginning of the police doing what they do normally in the EAST on a reg...

E must touch everybody in Jesus name..

The Police is our friend,so shut your trap and encourage them..Stop wailing.
